Reading Seed coach testimonials
"Seriously. Did you select out only the best and brightest for me for my first-time coaching assignments? Both are really sweet kids. And I am truly impressed with, as kindergarteners, how much they already know! I cannot imagine a first-time coaching experience being any more positive." - Coach Barbara R.
"Reading Seed coaches have a unique opportunity to connect with students beyond any tutoring experience. Barriers come down when we enjoy a story together or investigate the wonders of our planet. I love the honest curiosity of children. They make me think, and it's so much fun!"
- Coach Jill D.
"Reading has always been my passion and being a part of a child's discovery of the wonder of books has always been on my "bucket list". I love the one-on-one aspect and the freedom to use the child's interests to guide the sessions. I had heard of Literacy Connects in the past, but knew very little about the program. I am so impressed with the staff and the support that they give through the year."
- Coach Renee S.
"I believe that literacy is the key for student confidence and development. It is so foundational that I can't think of anything else that I could do that could make more of an impact on students."
- Coach Dana O.
"If I can help change the future of a child through making reading fun for them, my time is very well spent! Making reading fun for them is fun for me so it is a win-win!" - Coach Debbie C.
"I can't imagine a better way to spend my time than helping a child develop the love of reading. Each week, I leave coaching with my heart filled. I love the time I have spent with each of my kids and believe they teach me something each day! They make me laugh and smile and I can't think of a better way to spend a day. Literacy Connects and Reading Seed allows students to get the extra help they need or just to have someone who is going to dedicate time just for them." - Coach Noreen K.
"I really enjoy books and working with children. This program has structure and support but also gives a lot of freedom and opportunities for creativity. I love being able to work with the same students and establish a relationship with them. I feel like I am making a difference in their lives that will continue empower them." - Coach Susan H.
"I so enjoy sharing my love of reading and spending time with the same children every week and seeing them open up and become confident and joyful. Plus it’s such fun to see the books they choose and ask for." - Coach Hope G.
